Chapter 739 Snap

• The castle grounds are full of sunlight and bees when I step out of my car and squint against the brightness reflecting off the exterior windows. I brush a bee off my shoulder, which gives me an angry buzz and zooms to the nearest group of rose bushes, which are in full bloom now, painting the garden in shades of red and pink.
• It’s a quiet day, a weekend, which is why I planned to be here this morning. Both of my parents are here and alone.
